Abstract
Stewart attempts to resuscitate the formalist mandate in the study of prose fiction and to test it out on one of those burgeoning subfields of cultural criticism, colonial and postcolonial literary studies, where such formalism, to judge from current practice, seems far from urgent when not downright suspect. The formalist imperative is to read, to read what is written as a form of meaning, both authorially designed and culturally inferred.
